NEW FERRY BUTTERFLY PARK-WIRRAL

I visited a new butterfly park today at New Ferry on the Wirral. The site is owned by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust, which has transformed the site over the years from some railway sidings just off Bebington railway station. For further information on the site 
Twenty-six species of butterflies have been recorded at the park

Anyway, we had a good walk round and what a cracking little reserve they have established over the year, and the volunteers were really friendly and helpful regarding what species of butterfly were around.
